‘Warsaw 1943 = Gaza 2025’: Holocaust memorial vandalized in Polish capital
A Holocaust memorial in Warsaw has been vandalized with graffiti referring to the war in Gaza.
Israel’s ambassador to Poland Yacov Livne shares a photo of the memorial, which has been emblazoned with the words “Warsaw 1943 = Gaza 2025” in red paint.
“Shameful vandalism at Warsaw’s memorial for 300,000 (!) Jews deported to Treblinka,” writes Livne. “Poland has a special responsibility to protect Jewish & Holocaust sites.”
